Food, Family, and Lifestyle
You know what this post means right? Yes, we have cable internet back! The cable went out Friday afternoon as the lights were flickering however, we never lost power so the blessing of electricity is going into the Family Gratitude Jar. Before the storm came on Friday, I was able to get to the gym…
I am writing this late Thursday night thanks to impending Storm Nemo. In fact, we watched the movie Finding Nemo after we ate this Spaghetti with Cilantro-Parsley Pesto & Tomato recipe for dinner. I wanted a quick meal that would satisfy, be flavorful and fun. Since my husband despises pine nuts, I used pumpkin seeds but…
There are presents and then there are gifts from someone’s heart that make an impact. Our friend Kim, whose children are also our children’s buddies, gifted us with a Family Gratitude Jar.
